Description of service and product

Onlime Telecard is a compact device, a small module into which a card is inserted to watch TV online. The essence of the technology on which the equipment operates is to simply connect it to a specific connector. Therefore, technology is literally translated from English as “switching on and working.”

Onlime Telecard is a provider that provides digital television without an additional wire, makes it possible to view channels in HD quality, 3D support, and control from a television remote control.

Telecard TV from Rostelecom allows users to watch 95 digital channels, 2 HD channels and 3D movies. The standard options include an additional service. They include a 7-day TV guide, a pop-up information window function for the current program, a function for switching audio tracks and support for broadcasting in a foreign language.

What is the new online broadcasting format?

The telecommunications company operates in the Moscow region, that is, the coverage area extends to Moscow and the immediate Moscow region. But this does not in any way impair the viewing experience, a picture of the same quality will be broadcast both in the center of the capital and on the most remote outskirts, the signal strength does not decrease at all. The company offers Muscovites to use digital broadcasting in a new way - through a special television module OnLime TeleCARD. Most modern television receivers are already equipped with a CI/CI+ connector. As a rule, along the front of the case there is a small recess just for connecting unique compact equipment according to the HDTV standard (high-frequency digital television).


After installing the module in the slot, the user will be able to independently adjust the display of the desired broadcast channels, and the signal will arrive via a regular television cable. Some channels are broadcast in the original language, so advanced users will be able to view scientific and technical materials in a foreign language. The signal is not compressed, and this factor affects the quality of the received picture - it is exactly the same as that sent by the service provider.

Equipment

Onlime Telecard contains a conditional access system module with a smart card, instructions, subscription agreement, warranty card and packaging box. The module is a slot for a card with a serial number and a barcode. A smart card includes a chip to operate it.

Installing and connecting the card

The card can be inserted either into a special receiver, which usually comes with equipment from the provider, or into the CL slot for the CAM module on the TV. The CAM module decodes the video stream and matches it with the TV receiver, that is, it replaces the purchase of a set-top box. Many modern TVs are equipped with a CL slot. When connecting to a CAM module, you first need to turn off the TV. Insert the card into the module until it stops, and the module into the slot. After this, you can turn on the TV receiver. If everything is done correctly, a corresponding notification will appear on the screen.

If there is no suitable slot, then you also need to connect the set-top box. Before the procedure, all equipment is turned off. The card is inserted into the receiver, and the receiver is connected to the TV using a cable. Depending on the TV model, it may have different connectors. It is best to connect devices via HDMI ports.

After the receiver with the card is connected, you can turn on the equipment for further configuration. In addition, some providers' receivers have a built-in smart card, so you won't need to install one, but the point is still the same. Now a little about the advantages and disadvantages of the receiver and the CAM module:

  • Price. The module itself will cost 1.5-2 times less;
  • Practicality. The CAM module does not take up space and does not require additional power or wires. But its capabilities are limited by the capabilities of the TV. The set-top box is a full-fledged device;
  • Convenience. The receiver comes with an additional control panel. The channel search setting functions are more convenient. Externally, receivers can display the time or channel.

However, despite some differences, functionally they serve the same purpose.

Before purchasing equipment from a provider, you need to make sure it is compatible with your TV.

The most popular providers of digital television via a smart card are: Rostelecom, as well as its telecommunications brand operating in Moscow TV OnLime, Tricolor, MTS and others. Each company uses a similar set of equipment, but different coding, so you cannot use the equipment of one provider to receive the services of another.

For example, the OnLime Telecard digital TV set includes a smart card with a CAM device. In this case, the TV must have a DVB-C digital tuner (cable TV standard) and support CI/CI+ and MPEG-4. The Rostelecom card will provide high-quality digital TV without additional devices and unnecessary wires.

Telecommunications service provider MTS provides connection via smart card to digital satellite TV. However, there are different channel packages to meet different user needs. Satellite operator Tricolor TV supplies a smart card along with the set-top box.

But after you have inserted the smart card into your receiver, you still need to register the equipment. For example, in Tricolor TV on the website you need to fill out a form with user and receiver data. This way the user will be registered in the system. But that's not all. To receive data on your TV, you still need to activate the card. To do this, send a special request to technical support. And only after some time it will be possible to access the services. Other providers also require registration, so be sure to find out all the details when purchasing equipment.
